Repairs on the Court Room.

The court room has been undergoing
thorough renovation recently. The walls
and ceiling have been beautifully painted and
frescoed. the ratings vanished, and the old
carpet replaced by new one New mating
has also been LAID about the door ways These
repairs hive wrought a marvellous change in
the room, and we doubt if any court house in
the State can now boast of better one. The
trescoing and finishing was done by Maj.
John W. Berry. the present Mayor
of Gardiner, from designs of his own, and is
truly magnificent piece of work. 1t proves
Maj. Berry to be more than a master of his
art. We doubt if there is anything of the
kind in the state which surpasses it. The
figures are unique and symmetrical, and there
is most happy blending in the light and
shade of the tnts. The carpet, which is from
the store of Fowler Hamlen, is a beautiful
piece of goods and will undoubtedly withstand
the wear and tear of legal feet for some time
to come. 1t was selected by Major Berry
and it's tnts harmonic perfectly with those
of the frescoing. With such a home
as this Justice ought certainly to flourish in
Kennebec county in the future as vigorously
as she has in the past.

The work of making tight the reservoir of
the Augusta Water Co. is now being prose
cuted with renewed activity. Numerous
holes were found in the sides, some of them
as large as a mans arm. At the foot of
the slope mbedded in the clay were placed a
row of large stones running around the reser-
voir At the bottom OF these there were
frequently found holes through which the
water percoated. These stones have been
dag out and the holes puddled with clay.
Six large and handsome gray horses, fur

arrived from that city, dump carts accom-
psnying, and with crew of men been EN-

layer of gravel ten feet wide and six
inches deep on the reservoir bottom. extend

will also be layed few feet up the slope the
same thickness. There is talk of spreading
sand over the entire bottom of the reservoir
blowing up the clay and mixing the two. One
of the reasons which Engineer Shedd gives
for the inability of the reservoir to contain
water is that not sufficient sand was added to

The clay was so hard that it would crack
The operations are under the charge of Mr.
Shedd, who knows his business perfectly.

THE DAY ELSEWHERE.

Celebration at Detroit-Ex-Senator Jones, of
Florida, Enlogizes tho South.
DETROIT, Mich, March 17-At the celebration
of St. Patrck's day in this city, to night, Sena-
tor c. ". Jones, of Florida, was one of the
chief speakers. After speaking of the marvel
Gus progress made in this country since its first
settlement, he took up the subject of labor op-
posing any government interference between
labor and capital. He then said: When we
speak of the new South, it cannot be meant that
any material change has taken place in the char
acter or qualities OF the people, nor do think it
desirable that there should be any change, for
am sure, from what know of them, If one did
take place it would be for the worse They are
a generous brave, open hearted people, utterly
devoid of the close calculating. selfish power
that you will find in some parts of the coun-
try strongly developed, and free from bgotry
and intolerance as any people under the sun.
They were greatly misunderstood at the North
before the late civil war, and they are misun-
derstood yet. have lived among them since l
was fourteen years of age, and | have had an expe
rence that few natives ever had to test their true
character. l don't think there is any part of the
country where could have got to the bar and
succeeded we'll there at the South; and
am quite sure that if my life had been cast in
any other part of this great country than the
one live in, Jones, of Florida would never have
given much trouble to the newspapers he
taken place at the South were such as might
have been expected to follow the result of the
great war. Freedom is now national, not sec
tionel. The amendments to the Constitution
have been sincerely accepted by the people. The
emancipated slaves are conceded every
right enjoyed by the white men, and are
doing as we'll as any laboring class in the world.
The right Of secession, with the institution of
slavery is abandoned forever, and since the peo-
pie have been left to regulate their own affairs,
peace, contentment and prosperity have fol-
lowed There is no part of the South with which
l am acquainted where Northern men1will not be
welcomed and conceded as much freedom of
| opinion as they can have anywhere With the
exceptions that have stated there is nothing
new about the South, nor is there any desire for
change. The simplicity and sincerity of social
| life at the South needs improvement from
older countries to increase the happiness of the
| people, for in some of the overrefned civiliza-
tons of the earth there will be found internal
rottenness which, il revealed to public view,
would shock every feeling of humanity"
| Senator Jones leaves here in few days to
enter the race for Senator from Florida The
| election takes place early in April.
